Ashmore was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but she later died from her injuries, police said.

Police said the driver stayed on the scene and was issued a misdemeanor citation for driver to exercise due care.

“The tragic loss of student Kelcie Ashmore runs deep within MCA and each of us feels the sorrow,” the school said in a statement. “We will continue to feel the loss as the news reverberates throughout campus today. We are a community that cares deeply for each other. And, we recognize this even more when something of this magnitude strikes us. Life is precious.”
